When Swedish furniture giant IKEA told Amercian customers to "take advantage of us" in their latest campaign, one Yankie man literally took them up on the offer.

Whilst Mark Malkoff's New York City apartment was fumigated for a week, the 31-year-old moved into the IKEA store in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

Sounding more like a Chaser style stunt, the semi-homeless man claimed his mates' apartments were too small and hotels were too expensive. It seems Malkoff is the love child of a tight-arse and an absolute genius.

It might be time to steer Pommy backpackers to Captain Snooze.
